Crazy Day at B&M Casino
-----------LONG, BUT I THINK WORTH THE READ------
Went to local casino all day today to play some poker. Had a blast, though I lost like $20 on the day. First hand of day, I'm at $100 NL raise AJ, get a caller. Flop is JTx and I bust a lady who couldn't fold QT. Few hands later I have K8 hold against KT on a K83 flop and I won another big pot. About 10 minutes later I was down on the day, lol.
Long story short I couldn't get a hand to hold at $100 NL and ended there stuck about $90.
One hand I saw before I left a guy to my right, a regular who is pretty good, bets out on river on JTTQA board, and a guy at other end of table raises him big. Guy to my right flashes me TT before going allin and getting called by the guy with Kx.
Went to dinner with my dad. Nice buffet.
Come back just in time for my 100 nl table to break so I go sit next to my dad and play some 2/4 limit. That was crazy. Everyone sucked and my hands held up and I was up $70 right off the bat. Then aces got cracked. Set got cracked. Flopped straight got cracked. Top pair got rivered, and more. My dad gave up after getting smacked around but I stayed. Pretty soon we were playing 6 handed... my bread and butter. Then we were down to 5.. then 4. SWEET. I was down like $160 overall at this point, but I wasn't gonna give up hope. And then it happened!!
HE SAT DOWN!!! Who is HE you ask? I don't know his name, but he would have been one of the biggest fish on party poker and I got to play with him 4 handed for the better part of two hours. Ellix Powers would have exploded with this guy. Why? Because he called me down with EIGHT HIGH. yes he called me down one hand and flopped over 83o on river. That was amazing.
Then he did it two more times. THREE TIMES he called me down with 8 high. TWICE I called him down with Jack high and both times it was good. One hand there was a stradle and I'm on button and I three bet with J8, fish caps as does other guy. 442 flop fish bets, old fart calls , I raise and fish and old fart call. 7 on turn Fish bets, old fart folds, I raise, fish calls. King on river so 4427K board and fish bets. I say.. ."I don't see how I can fold here" and call. He flips over 93s (he had no draw) and I take down a big pot with Jack high. JACK HIGH!
The fish bet every single time you checked to him and he was two to my left so he made it really easy to check raise the field. I did this regularly.
I get JJ and raise. Fish 3 bets I cap. Old fart somes along for ride. J82 flop. I check fish bets, old fart calls, I check raise and just fish calls. Blank on turn, I bet and the fish raises. He calls my reraise and check calls the river with KJ. That was by far the best hand he'd had to that point.
One hand I raised KQ preflop flop is KJx and he bets, I raise, call. T on turn. He bets into me, I raise, he calls. T on river. He bets, I call. he turns over 9T. sigh
I ended up playing 'no foldem' holdem for two hours four handed and I basically busted the table. At end of session I was sitting with about $250 and I'd say the nearest guy had about $25.
He probably called 20 or more river bets with no pair as he dropped a lot of money. The funny thing was the two old farts I was with would A.) Call him down to river and fold. and B.) Try to bluff him with nothing. They'd bet and he'd call with 23 for a pair of rivered 2s and they'd muck . It was great. I was so close to histerical laughter about a dozen times.
It was funny to listen to the dealers. I'd bet on river and he'd call. I'd say "Top pair, jacks' and turn my hand over. He'd turn over Q3o for Q high and they'd be like. "Top pair and..... .... " then silence as they'd push me the pot.
Basically the last hand he played he raises, I limp/call with K5s. Flop was like 9 high garbage, one spade. I call him down to runner runner a flush and check raise him on river and somehow he just calls on river with pocket aces. Almost felt bad for the guy.
But it was so fucking funny man.
Ahhh, well I hope this was halfway interesting. If any of you had been there you'd have been rolling around on the ground. Maybe you had to be there, but it was great.
Well its 4 am and I"m tired!
Later,
Tad
